The report by David Kent was called out publicly by BBC presenter Nick Knowles for partiality when referring to the 2 F1 greats. Kent in his report, does not mention “Sir” even once in front of Hamilton’s name when both Stewart and Hamilton have been knighted by the Queen.
This has the entire internet up in arms over the bias displayed by the journalist. Furthermore, the fans have all been expressing their discontent with the report.
Here is @MrNickKnowles holding the press accountable for disrispecting Sir Lewis Hamilton again. He did the same with the #AbuDhabiGP fars. You never see this from F1 journalists. They just write about his jewellery. Good on you Nick👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Why don’t you address him with the title given by the queen? Don’t you respect your Queen or just not Sir Lewis Hamilton?

I'd say *Sir* Lewis Hamilton is much more of an F1 icon than Stewart, and certainly a more respectable role model.
He’s obviously not keeping up! #F1 #SilverstoneGP what about Stewart retiring from making thinly veiled hate remarks?
Of course, the fans of the sport have wasted no time in calling out the report and the reporter, and rightfully so. The 7-time world champion is a true icon of the sport and arguably one of the greatest drivers to grace the circuits.
Calling Sir Jackie Stewart by his title but leaving Sir Lewis Hamilton’s title out is saying the quiet part REALLY loudly,
Nothing extraordinary about Jackies’ comments on Sir Lewis Hamilton. Any teenager who follows the sport, knows the frustration & deep grief that Sir Lewis Hamilton’s earned success has caused Jackie Stewart. No big story here.
Although, Hamilton is having a subpar season by his high standards. He is far from finished when it comes to performing at the highest level and Stewart’s comments about his compatriot seem to be uncalled for.

However, Hamilton’s performances suggest that he is far from finished. Yes, the Britton has struggled under the new regulations. However, the package he has been provided has been far from the best that Mercedes are so used to producing.
Hamilton still has 2 podiums to his name and sits P6 in the driver standings just under 100 points behind leader Max Verstappen. However, are such bold comments by the 3-time World Champion called for?
